Coach and the Penalty spot. Coach calls "Ready, Set, Go!" On the go the goalkeeper runs out of the goal like in a real short corner. As the goalkeeper runs out the coach will throw a ball into the bottom left hand corner of the goal.
The goalkeeper must dive to save a short corner like they would in a march situation, using the skills they have learnt in the diving drill before.
To mix the drill up, not all the shorts will go into the corner, some will go in the air and some down the middle - therefore making the goalkeeper aware that not all short corners will go to the same place.
